Chemical Peels

Targeted Skin Renewal for Clarity, Texture & Tone

Chemical peels are a non-invasive skin treatment that use carefully selected exfoliating solutions to remove the top layers of dead skin, helping to stimulate new cell turnover. This process promotes a brighter, smoother complexion while supporting the appearance of surface pigmentation, acne-prone skin, and uneven tone or texture.

At Soliman Aesthetics, we offer a range of medical-grade chemical peels suitable for different skin types and concerns—from superficial peels with minimal downtime to more intensive formulations for deeper skin renewal. Your treatment will be selected based on a personalised consultation and skin assessment.

Suitable For

Chemical peels may be appropriate for individuals concerned with:

  • Dull or rough skin

  • Sun damage and early signs of ageing

  • Congestion or acne-prone skin

  • Uneven skin tone or pigmentation

The depth and type of peel used will depend on your skin goals, concerns, and sensitivity level.

What to Expect

Treatment is typically quick and straightforward, taking around 20–30 minutes in clinic. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Skin will be cleansed and prepped

  • The chosen peel solution is applied and monitored for a specific amount of time

  • You may feel a tingling, warm, or tight sensation as the solution activates

  • The treatment concludes with neutralisation (if required), followed by calming and hydrating products

Depending on the strength of the peel, you may begin to notice visible peeling or flaking 2–3 days post-treatment. Lighter peels may not produce visible peeling but will still deliver results through increased cell turnover.

Recovery & Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure your skin heals well and the benefits of the peel are maximised. Following treatment:

  • Peeling or dryness may last 3–7 days, depending on the depth of the peel

  • Mild redness or tightness is common in the first 24–48 hours

  • Skin may feel more sensitive or reactive during the healing phase

To care for your skin post-peel:

  • Use gentle cleansers, moisturisers, and high-SPF sunscreen daily

  • Avoid exfoliants, retinol, vitamin C, or other active ingredients for at least 5–7 days

  • Do not pick or peel flaking skin, as this may lead to pigmentation or irritation

  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours, as it can dehydrate the skin and increase redness

  • Minimise or avoid smoking and vaping, as they impair circulation and skin regeneration

  • Refrain from heat-based treatments (e.g. saunas, hot yoga) for 48 hours

Makeup can generally be worn once your skin is no longer peeling and has calmed—typically after 24–72 hours, depending on the intensity of the treatment.

Risks & Considerations

Chemical peels are widely used and generally safe when performed by trained professionals. However, like all cosmetic treatments, they carry some potential risks:

  • Temporary redness, peeling, or sensitivity

  • Dryness or tightness

  • Rarely, pigmentation changes (especially in darker skin tones) or prolonged irritation

All risks and appropriate peel types will be discussed during your consultation to ensure a safe, effective treatment tailored to your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions about Chemical Peels

Will my skin peel?

Peeling can vary based on the type of peel used. Light peels may produce subtle flaking, while deeper peels may result in more noticeable exfoliation.

How often should I have a peel?

For best results, we recommend a series of treatments every 4–6 weeks, depending on your skin goals and type. Your practitioner will design a plan that suits your needs.

Can I wear makeup after a peel?

It’s best to wait at least 24 hours, and ideally until any visible peeling has subsided to avoid clogging pores or irritating fresh skin.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes—there are tailored formulations for sensitive skin types. During your consultation, your skin will be assessed to determine the safest and most effective option.
